The Guardian reported that Manchester mayor Andy Burnham believes a “win-win” deal could be reached with the European Union that would be “more like the Brexit that people thought they were voting for in 2016”. Burnham made the comments while the prime minister met fellow leaders at the European Political Community summit in Dublin. The gathering comes ahead of a highly anticipated EU‑UK summit scheduled for next week, where the prime minister hopes to bring Britain closer to Europe. Burnham’s remarks suggest the government is looking for a reset that aligns with the expectations many voters had in 2016, according to the outlet.
